Joining the cast of "Bates Motel' season four is Jaime Ray Newman, who will take on recurring role in the upcoming installment of A&E's "Psycho' prequel.
Newman will play Rebecca Hamilton- Sheriff Alex Romero's (Nestor Carbonell) former romantic interest who remains in love with him.
The actress recently took on the role of Allison Roth on the now-cancelled series, "Wicked City,' on ABC. Other TV in which she appeared include "Bosch,' "Grimm,' "Drop Dead Diva,' "Mind Games,' and "Red Window,' to name a few.
Aside from Newman, other new faces will be featured on "Bates Motel' season four, including Damon Gupton, who will recur in the new installment as Dr. Gregg Edwards. The actor recently took on roles on Fox's "Empire' and NBC's "The Player.'
As a resident doctor at Pineview Mental Institution, Dr. Edwards is described as a medical practitioner who "walks a fine line between professional curiosity and personal investment in his patients' lives."
It was also revealed that the character might be introduced as a potential love interest for Norma Bates, played by Vera Farmiga. Regardless whether Dr. Edwards turns out to be Norma's new man, series executive producer Carlton Cuse previously stated that Norma and Romero will eventually become a romantic couple.
"Our intention is to make people want them to get together," Cuse said, referring to Norma and Romero in an interview with Yahoo TV earlier this year. "When that might happen, Kerry and I wouldn't want to say right now, but that's exactly what you should be feeling. You should be wanting them to get together."
Meanwhile, lead character Norman Bates, played by Freddie Highmore, is expected to begin his transition and show certain qualities that are similar to his counterpart in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film "Psycho.'
Cuse went back to the beginning of the show and opened up about how Norman has grown, particularly how he transitioned from being a teenager with blackouts and personal issues to becoming a greatly "different" person and doing more surprising things.
"At the end of the third season of the show, he really becomes unhinged in a different way he had before," Cuse explained. "That really sets up a different version of the Norman that we know from the movie."
"Bates Motel' season four is expected to premiere in March on A&E.
